Codes and Abbreviations


To conserve space, codes and abbreviations are used throughout. All the codes in the Courses area are defined in either the Course Catalog Codes page or within the Courses area itself. Some web browsers will allow you to hover your mouse over an abbreviation and the abbreviation's definition will display for you. Many of the codes are links that you can click to get explicit pop-up help.
